En primer lugar, aplicaba las herramientas antropológicas al análisis de un grupo “moderno”: la clase media urbana chilena. En segundo lugar, revelaba la existencia de un sistema de normas culturales que surgía de los intercambios de favores, comúnmente conocidos como compadrazgo. Este compadrazgo, aunque inspirado en la benevolencia que debe informar las relaciones entre los compadres del ritual católico, no exigía ninguna formalización ni alusión religiosa: simplemente implicaba la voluntad de establecer vínculos de ayuda recíproca, cuidadosamente manejados y dosificados.

    REPORTS ON COMPLETED RESEARCH The following research projects, supported by Foundation grants, were reported as complete during 2017. The reports are listed by subdiscipline, then geographic area (where applicable) and in alphabetical order. A Bibliography of Publications resulting from Foundation-supported research (reported over the same period) follows, along with an Index of Grantees Reporting Completed Research. ARCHAEOLOGY Africa: DR. EMANUELE CANCELLIERI, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy, received a grant in October 2015 to aid research on “Middle Stone Age Archaeology and Chronology in Tunisian Sahara.” The project aimed at contributing knowledge about the timing and nature of Middle Stone Age occupation of northern Sahara. The research was conducted in the southern Chott el Jerid (central Tunisia), in the surroundings of the town of Douz, by first performing extensive surveys in the wider area and then by means of intensive investigations along the course of Wadi Lazalim, a nowadays dried river valley that hosts rich archaeological evidence along its banks and surrounding areas. The surveys helped identify a series of geoarchaeological contexts of interest, which have been subsequently excavated to collect representative archaeological materials for an assessment of their cultural framework. The excavated profiles were also thoroughly sampled in order to establish a reliable chronological sequence by means of luminescence dating. Geological, chronological, and archaeological data all point to an early Middle Stone Age occupation of this part of the Sahara, and represent a major step towards a better understanding of the timing of occupation of northern North Africa by the first bearers of MSA technologies, which could have included the earliest representatives of our own species.

    A History of Mexico 1821-1924 HILA 131, Fall 2010 Monday-Wednesday, 5-6:20 p.m. CSB 002 Ev Meade, Department of History Office Hours: Wednesdays, 1:30-3:00 p.m. H&SS 6044 A History of Mexico, 1821-1924 Culture and Ideology, History and Memory The future was black, like the night shadows over the abyss. The torch was lit, and its reddish light shone over a sea of bayonets, and over this sea of bayonets floated the banner of Spain, and the standard of the Santo Oficio. On the other side was liberty. The old man and the young nation did not vacillate. To cross that ocean of dangers, the nation needed only to have faith and constancy; sooner or later, their triumph was assured. The man needed to be a hero, almost a god, for his sacrifice was inevitable. The thought could only begin. In that enterprise, hope was but temerity. To undertake it was the sublime suicide of the patriot. The man who did such deserves to have altars—the Greeks would have located him among the constellations. For this, among us, Hidalgo symbolizes glory and virtue. Virtue knit his brows with the silver crown of age. Glory surrounded him with his halo of gold. Then, eternity received him in its arms. – Vicente Riva Palacio, El Libro Rojo (1870). On July 30, 1811, in an abandoned Jesuit Monastery in remote Chihuahua City, Padre Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla met his maker. Lion of Mexican independence, herald of El grito de Dolores, leader of the people‘s rebellion, doyen of national liberation, Padre Hidalgo waded through a ―sea of bayonets,‖ shimmering in the early-morning torchlight, and faced the same firing squad that had dispatched many of his colleagues over the preceding weeks.
